My script may look different that yours, but I researched Alex Padilla’s voting and advocacy record— Not taking for granted that he was going to share my views just because I live in California.

I made this because I want to make sure you know Bare Hands is a brand that has actual human values behind it. It’s hard being a business and sharing these views because our reach and customer base goes so far and wide (something I am also really proud of). If you are a creator or customer who doesn’t share this opinion, my intention is not to alienate or condemn you. It is just to show you what drives me as a founder.

If you are a fellow brand owner, I hope this inspires you to share your views as well. We are an important part of the social contract.

You may not be cultivating tomatoes… but you are cultivating *something*

You are world-building, nurturing, developing. Most likely with your bare hands.

You probably don’t get get put off by stirring the jar of peanut butter. Or tinkering with that process or recipe until it’s just right.

For the folks who can’t be bothered to stir peanut butter… we are probably not suited for one another.

To those of you who love to hone and craft, who thrive on ritual and who who see their handwork as proof of their worldly intentions — we are likeminded.

Based on the many questions I get and people I’ve worked with over the years, here’s a mini guide on when buffing isn’t your first line of defense.

Why would I not recommend using our signature method? Because these conditions (peeling, splitting and deep ridges) mean your nail’s structure has been compromised. By using our oil and shape-based methods to heal FIRST, you’ll be able to polish later.

I just posted an article I wrote about how the polisher works, called “A Lesson in Healthy Buffing— The unique properties of glass polishers” which explains why a nail plate needs to be in good condition.

Have gel damage or acrylic damage? Have thin nails since you were a child? See our IG post called “Nail Healing Paths”… your journey is uniquely different.

Your hands deserve tender care from all the good work they do! It’s worth it to put the time in to heal them. ✌🏼

The kit that’s changing the nail game for good.

Why is loving your nails so hard to achieve? 🥲 I asked this question 7 years ago, when I realized that there were really only 3 paths to nail care: Going to the salon (or using paints at home), Using multi-step buffers that took forever, or the absolute worst: GIVING UP and feeling terrible about how you can never take good enough care of your hands.

Enter this Dry Gloss Manicure, and now tens of thousands of people are singing its praises— Sharing their love and confidence about this new method and gifting it to friends and family far and wide!
